The 2021 Republic of Tuva head election took place on 17–19 September 2021, on common election day, coinciding with election to the State Duma. Acting Head Vladislav Khovalyg was elected for his first full term.[1]
Background
Sholban Kara-ool headed the Republic of Tuva for 14 years, from 2007-2021. He was previously Chairman of the Great Khural of Tuva in 1998-2002 before running in 2002 Tuva presidential election and losing to incumbent President Sherig-ool Oorzhak. Kara-ool won his last gubernatorial election in 2016 with 85.66% of the vote.[2] On 7 April 2021 Sholban Kara-ool asked President Vladimir Putin for his resignation, the move was long expected due to Kara-ool's longevity of service and republic's weak development.[3] Putin accepted Kara-ool's resignation and appointed Vladislav Khovalyg as acting Head of Tuva, Khovalyg previously served as general director of "Tyvaenergosbyt" (main regional electricity provider) in 2018-2021 and Mayor of Kyzyl in 2008-2018.[4] Sholban Kara-ool was appointed as deputy general director of RusHydro and then announced his participation in State Duma election.[5]
